Previously, on If Loving You Is Wrong.

It smells like yours, right?

Yeah, that smells like mine. Be sure, because if it's not, that means that

Randall is having an affair with someone. If that is the case, I cannot

this. You're mine, and I can't have you. Don't call me!

Don't text me! Don't talk to me! Do you understand?

It's my future wife.

Have you lost your freaking mind?

Put him down.

Do it. Do it.

Apologize to my son.

Make sure you set the alarm. I got it. Now you sound like my mama.

You literally just dodged a bullet.

This ain't over with me.

It better be, for my daughter. What did I just say?

What is wrong with you?

What is it, testosterone?

What is it, Ed? No, it ain't nothing. I ain't going with this man coming to

spray up my damn house.

Sleep with my woman? Are you crazy?

You are one stupid man. Do you know that?

And what is it? Does it really make you that crazy that I'm sleeping with

somebody else?

No. Why?

What is that?

That's for all to know.

No, no, no, no, Ed. I need to understand because we're not together.

I am not your woman to control. What is this?

Because I don't want to see you with another man. You hear me?

That is way too heavy. Grace, I've had you since you were 17 years old.

Ed, this, what just happened right here, is a gift.

And I really hope that you understand that what I do with my life, with

I want to do it with, is in my business.

When I want to do it. Do you understand that? Yeah.

You Miss Big Girl now, huh?

Miss Independent, because you're picking up bike shifts?

Yes. Yeah.

Okay, you bet you're picking up night shifts. Let me go to the station and

you working one of these night shifts. See what happens.

Why don't you want me to have my own money yet? What is it? You want to

that too? Test me.

Test me. I'm so tired of your threat.

It's threat after threat after threat.

Why don't you go pick up your drunk -ass wife?

There's nothing here between us.

Where are you going?

I'm going to be mad at you.

I'm not going to find out.

I don't want you to go.

Frank, trust me, you understand when you get a little bit older, you'll want to

get out of here too.

Please.

Frank, shh.

I love you, man. Just go back to sleep, okay?

Okay.

What do you want?

I know when that light is on, you want me to come down here.

Well, tonight you're wrong.

I just want to work on my boat.

You think I'm going to float?

What do you want?

Tom.

Look, I'm not... I'm not doing this back and forth with you.

All right, you said don't call you. You said don't text you, so I don't.

What is it?

I don't know what to do.

Don't do that.

I can't do that to you.

All right?

You said you want to talk to me. Then you say you don't.

You think this is easy?

No.

Hell no, it's not.

I am putting my wife through hell because all I want to do is be with you.

Oh, you do have a conscience.

Go to hell.

No, I am in hell.

What is it?

Why are you here?

I don't know.

Hey, go.

We need a supervisor.

What's up?

She's not answering the phone.

Okay, send the police.

Send fire. Call her back and call dispatch on 7795.

911, what's your emergency?

Stanley?

Stanley, you're drunk.

No, you know who this is, Stanley.

You called here last night.

Okay.

Stanley, if you call here again, I'm going to send the police for you. You

me?

Okay, bye -bye.

He's at it again?

Yeah. Crazy.

Why don't you listen?

Huh?

Why don't you listen?

What are you doing here?

Where's my daughter at?

She's at Natalie's, Ed.

Natalie's? Yeah.

She's at a sleepover at Natalie's. In the ghetto?

Listen to me. I need you to take your ass home.

And take care of our little girl. You hear me?

Okay, again, I'm not leaving.

Okay. I don't feel like she's safe in the hood.

So you repeat after me.

Say, I don't work nights.

Look at me.

Say, I don't work nights.

Leave.

Okay?

Okay. You want to play it that way?

You the boss?

You the boss? Wait.

Ed.

Hey, Sally.

Come here.

I need to talk to you.

How you doing?

I'm good, Ed.

Come here.

You know we got a little girl, right?

Yeah. Okay.

Esperanza need to go home.

Take care of our baby. You know how that goes.

No, come on. If I let her go, I'm down one.

Who's fault is that?

Ed, have you been drinking?

Out of my damn business, one or two.

When I got this job for her, what did I tell you?

She can't work what?

She can't work nights.

Yeah, but she asked me. I don't want to have this conversation more than once.

She's got to go home, baby.

Come on, Edward.

Come here.

Come here.

Let me ask you something.

Let's just take this back. Let's rewind this track.

Remember last year, huh?

You and your girls, having a little girls night, huh? Getting loose off that

goose, feeling good.

You were swerving through the streets of Maxine. You were owning the town that

night, weren't you?

Huh?

Before you go.

I write that up?

Huh? You lose your job?

You lose your family? You still got your paycheck?

Okay, okay. I got you, all right? Okay.

Esperanza, you're going home, darling.

I appreciate you.

I appreciate you, too.

Bastard. Hello, Mama.

Go get your stuff.

Go get your stuff.

Now.

I'm on the way.

What's going on?

Somebody broke into the restaurant.

Look at this place, Jackie. Look at this.

What happened, Jackie?

How?

The law wasn't set. The police didn't come. Someone called me from home

me to come in. I thought that I did. No, no, no. You're fired.

Wait, Mr. Kim. Wait a minute. No, no, no. You're fired. Wait, wait, wait, Mr.

Kim. I'm so glad you're here. Jackie. This is awful.

I always say set the law.

Yeah, right.

It wasn't her.

Yes, it was. No, it wasn't.

Mr. Kim, it was my son.

Your son?

Yes.

What's your little baby?

Too little to work here. That's illegal.

No, Mr. Kim, it was my oldest son. He was working here for a little while.

The one that was in jail?

Yes.

You let him come here? He did this? No, he... No, you're fired.

Wait, Mr. Kim, come on. Shut up, or you're fired too.

I still got a job. Shut up.

I'm calling the police on your son.

Mr. Kim.

I am the police.

Her gun stole my money.

$3 ,800 and I want it back.

Okay.

Take the report.

Well, Mr. Kim, let's... Let me see your badge.

Then take the report.

Mr. Kim, all right.

Have these ladies been good to you?

Yeah.

So they made a mistake.

A big mistake.

Now, are you sure you won't fire them?

You know how hard it is to get somebody you can trust.

Haven't they worked for you for a long time?

Yeah, but I want my money.

And I get it.

And I want our son locked up.

I got to look into that, but maybe we can give Natalie a chance to get your

money back.

Natalie, I want my money or you fired.

You got to calm down now. At least hear what he has to say. Okay. Okay? Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey. What's going on?

Where is it? Get down. Get down, huh?

Where is it? Natalie.

Shut up.

Where's the money?

What are you talking about? The money from the store.

You stole it. $3 ,800.

Where is it?

Ma.

Don't lie to me.

Didn't. If you didn't take it, you damn sure know somebody who took it.

Natalie. Shut up, Lucien.

Get out.

You know what?

Y 'all stay in here, okay?

Stay right there. Natalie.

Don't open the door, okay?

Get out. Get out now. You cannot abide by my rules.

Get out. Now.

And I'm going to call the parole board first thing, and I'm going to tell them

as soon as they open to come get your black ass, because you can't stay here.

But I didn't even take any money.

Why are you causing me so much trouble, Tony?

Huh?

Natalie. You make my life so damn hard.

Natalie.

Look, stop it, all right? Look, you're not going to be able to talk to me or

like that.

Let me tell you something.

You are not his father.

So you can just go. You know what? Just stop. You're not going to talk to my

mama like that.

Well, what you going to do?

You going to hit me?

But you know I'm going to whoop that ass. Just stop. No, no, no, no.

I want both of y 'all to stop it, and y 'all gonna listen to me.

All right, Natalie, you're wrong.

He said he didn't do it.

All right?

Now, I know you're upset, but this is not the way to handle it.

And you, she got every right to believe you did it.

We're trying hard to believe. We're trying hard to help you.

But this doesn't look good.

So you need to sit your ass down and tell your mama what happened.

No, no, no.

Sit down, Natalie. You too.

I don't believe me anymore.

Tell her.

I was walking out.

Juan came by.

He was gonna, he was gonna give me a ride.

And then Luke came, brought me home.

I was watching him in the parking lot.

I saw him lock up.

What? Tell me that.

Cuts.

Cuts. Cuts. Cuts.

Cuts.

The big thug that I just tell him don't let him finish.

Picked me up and we went out to a friend's party.

Got a lot of money on him.

So do you think he did it?

No.

I don't.

I've been working there for nine years.

And that place has never been robbed.

Something to make me pay the money back to.

All of it.

I don't have $3 ,800.

It's either that or he fires me.

Quit that penny -ass job.

I keep trying to tell you, Joey, it does not work that way. You have to work

from the bottom up.

It's all I know how to do, Joey.

And that's... This is all I know how to do.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Your ass about to take that from me.

You ain't leaving.

Lou, move.

I'm going through. You ain't leaving.

Lou, move.

You're going to have to move right through me.

I'll go through you, Lou. Come on.

Let's go.

Damn it, Lou.

Do you love your mama?

Yeah.

And your sisters?

I don't know.

Get off me,

mate. Get off me. Get off me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's all right.

She don't. That's all right.

She'll come around.

But you got to keep doing what you're doing. You got to keep pressing for

right.

Man, I'd go to the streets right now and make $5 ,000.

Right now. Yeah, that's right.

Go right on out there. Go get it.

That's right.

Go get it.

You've already been in trouble a few times. You've already been locked up.

That's what you want? That?

Because that's not what I want for you.

You are smart, young man, Joey.

Take a deep breath.

Calm down.

I'm not your enemy. I'm here trying to help you.

Why are you trying to help me, man?

Don't give a damn about me.

Don't give a damn about my mom. Don't give a damn about this family.

I don't know you.

So how could I care about you?

But I do care about the other people in that room.

I love you, Mama.

I love your sisters.

And I got a son that I need to be okay.

And I need your help making sure that he's okay.

Because he's watching you.

And me.

So if you can't stand me, maybe we could just find like a middle ground for the

people we love in this house.

Can you do that?

I know you had a long night.

So why don't you go lay it down?

That's why I'm here, man.

I'll talk to you, Mom.

Go lay down.

Is he gone?

No.

I told him to stay.

What the hell did I say? Hold on.

No, no, no. You hold on. Look, look, look. Let me tell you something, all

You told me to shut up in that room more than enough.

Now, I don't care how upset you get.

You can never talk to me like that. Look, you can just... No, no, no, no.

don't have to say it.

A dialogue.

Now, I'm going to go home.

And I'm going to calm down.

And you're not going to talk to me or him.

Until you calm down.

Because if you continue to talk to me like that, I promise you, I'm going to

walk right out this house and I'm going to take my son with me.

Oh, yeah. I see it. I don't care. I can do it all by myself.

Yeah.

I hear you.

But you better not say it.

See you later.

Miss Avery?

Hey, what's going on?

Just got back from the doctor.

Yeah? Uh -huh.

He said that, um, we should try right now because...

I'm ovulating.

Marcy. What?

I'm just... I can't.

Why not?

I'm just not.

Feeling... Not.

I'm just... Look, I'm not in the mood.

Okay? What?

Nothing. Nothing. I'm just... Nothing, babe.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. I just got a lot on my mind right now.

Randall, do you not want a baby?

What I don't want is an argument.

Hello? Hey, I'm sorry, all right?

Just listen.

I'm so sorry.

I'm just so frustrated by this situation.

I, um, took this out on you, and, uh, you

didn't deserve that.

I'm just, uh, I'm sorry.

Can you say something?

What do you want me to say?

I should accept my apology.

Hey.

Are you okay?

No.

What's going on?

I know how close you and Randall are.

Yeah?

Would you tell me if you knew something?

What are you talking about?

Would you tell me?

If he was having an affair, would you tell me?

What do you mean, yeah?

Yeah, I would.

Please don't tell him I said anything.

Matthew, I won't.

What's going on?

I think he's seeing someone.

No, no. There's no way.

You don't think so?

There's no way that Rand is seeing anybody.

Why don't you come and talk to Alex?

No. No, I don't.

She's a lot better at this than I am. Trust me. Come.

Yeah.

Okay, yes, I do.

Then say it.

I want to see you.

Yeah, Marcy, I've got to get going, so I'll call you later on.

Yeah.

Okay, Marcy, yeah, I'll talk to you soon. Bye -bye.

Honey, who's that?

Oh, that was with Marcy.

Um...

Dick

Marcy?

Did I say Marcy?

I meant Kelly.

Gosh. Kelly.

Yeah. Uh -huh. Oh.

Um... What are you doing here?

She's upset.

Oh?

She thinks Randall is having an affair.

Yeah, she had mentioned that to me.

She did?

Mm -hmm.

You didn't say anything.

No, because... You think it's as ridiculous as I do.

Yeah.

Yes, I...

I mean, I'm telling you, I know your husband. There's no way.

You talk to Alex.

I'll go talk to him.

Thank you.

Oh, no, no, no. I don't think that's... Honey, he's my friend.

I mean, they're both our friends. That's what we do.

Right. I just don't... I'm going to go talk to him.

I'll be right back. Okay.

Thank you.

You almost got busted.

Sorry?

Pretending like you're talking to me.

Um, I know who you're talking to.

Who?

Obviously something about Brad's surprise party.

You gotta be more careful.

You're right.

I don't know if it's a good idea for him to talk to him.

You know, me either.

Maybe I should stop him.

Yeah. I don't know.

Randall will be so mad that I told him.

You know, I really think you're right.

No, you know what?

Let him think whatever he wants.

I don't care.

You have any wine?

Uh, sure, yeah.

Actually, I'm on my way out.

To meet Natalie and Esperanza, and Kelly and I are all going to meet at her

place. Oh, okay. All right, good. I'll come over there.

Right?

It's a meeting for our kids' school.

Oh, right.

I don't want to be bothered with that kid stuff.

Yeah, I'll just, you know, I'll go for a run or something. I need to clear my

head anyway.

Good idea.

Knock, knock.

Hey, man.

Already coming along, huh?

Yeah. Thanks.

So, uh... What's going on?

Don't even, man.

I thought Mark could go over there and talk to Alex.

She's upset with me.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's, um... It's a bit of an understatement.

You think you're having an affair?

Yeah.

I mean, I told her that it was, um... I told her that you weren't, obviously.

Right. Well, I'm glad you told her.

So, uh... So what's going on?

Nothing, man.

Nothing.

Come on, man. You can tell me.

No, it's nothing. Like, I got a big case coming up, you know, and my testimony's

really important.

So I've just been a little nervous about it, you know.

So, a little stressed.

Yeah, well, I understand. Working too much.

I mean, you've been distant with me as well. You haven't popped by the office.

Sorry.

Yeah, it's, um... Well, listen, you know, we're good friends.

You can tell me.

I mean, I'm not going to tell her.

I mean, you know what these women are like. They always think it's something

that they've done wrong.

I'm your buddy.

I don't know.

My advice would be just to go and buy some flowers and come back,

give it some nice attention and...

Make love to all night.

I hear that. I hear that.

But from now on, if you can close the kitchen blind, because

Alex caught you like two, three times.

Yeah,

it makes me feel, you know, a little uncomfortable.

Well, you know, we just don't do those kind of things.

Especially in the kitchen.

And I don't want her getting any ideas, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

I mean, don't tell her I said this, but she's a bit of a prude in the bedroom.

You know?

She only likes it one way.

Same way.

Every time.

All right.

All right, well, maybe you guys should try it. You might like it.

Yeah.

I mean, it's my birthday coming up, so maybe we'll try a different position. I

don't know, you know.

Hopefully, we can do something different. Can we not talk

about those?

Yeah, sorry.

Thanks.

Yeah, I mean I was sacred You know we should Treat

them like the angels that they are and I'm sorry man. I shouldn't I shouldn't

have gone there. No, it's okay Yeah

Yeah, I hear you

Why don't you run out get flowers and I'll go

back inside and

Alex and I will be sending Marcy home in a little bit. You think it's that

simple?

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, certainly bring the piece back.

Try it.

All right.

All right, thanks. All right.

She's looking good.

The boat, not Marcy, the boat. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks, bro. I'm trying. I'm trying. I wouldn't speak about your wife like

Well, good luck, man. Good luck tonight.

All right.

Thanks. I'm thinking of her.

Hello?

Hi, Jenna.

Yeah, no, I have it. It's in my email. My...

My computer died, I'm sorry.

Yeah sure, let me just hop on the desktop and I can take a look at it.

Yeah, no, no, right now. I'll just sign in and, um...

Let

me call you back, Jenna.

Hey.

Thank you so much, you guys, for coming over.

Sure, what's up? Just playing.

Okay, so, you guys know that I do the surprise party for Brad every year,

And I still want to do one this year, even though we're only a few days away.

I've just been a little behind because of this whole situation.

So, I might need you guys' help.

Okay. Whatever you need, let us know.

Great. Well, I was thinking that we could have you guys all hide over here.

Okay, and then the rest of his friends, I'll have them hide around the corner.

And I told him that I'm not feeling very well this year, so to forget about it.

So he has no idea what we're doing.

Sneaky. I like it.

I have these baby pictures of him. I'm going to blow them out and put them all

over the house. I need your help kind of setting all that up.

Oh, so cute.

Wearing a dress.

It's a little bit different in England. It's a prison gown.

Oh, my God. He is going to be so embarrassed.

No, look at that.

It's almost as cute as my baby, Justice.

Did you see? I did.

Very cute. Soft dress.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, look at him.

He's so cute. That is beautiful. So this is in black and white?

That's a nut. What?

That's a heart.

No, it's...

Well, because he looks like a little white baby.

Well, I didn't mean to.

Look, lots of black babies. African -American.

Well, in your neighborhood, but in my hood, we black.

So,

look, a lot of blackrican -American babies come out really light.

Almost white -looking.

Yeah, you can always tell the complexion they're going to be by the top of their

ears. Right here.

Really? Natalie.

Yeah.

I got four kids. I didn't know that.

I never knew that.

No,

the chocolate is.

Really? Just right there? Yeah, right there. Who told you that?

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

What's going on with her?

He's cheating on me. Wait.

What? Oh, no. How do you know that?

I was on his computer, and he has all of his devices linked. So when he gets the

email or a text, everything comes up. I saw it. I saw it all.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

How about it's disgusting?

Do you know who it's with?

He just has it in his phone. It's Peppa.

What kind of name is Peppa?

Next on, if loving you is wrong.

Why are you talking to those guys, man? I'm just trying to build my army around

me, Brad.

You got a break -in at my mother's place?

Huh? So I don't have a job anymore?

$3 ,800 my mom got to pay back. And give me the money.

You. You.

Are Peppa.

Is that his baby?

No.

No. I love making love to you.

More than my wife.

Do you know something?

You have to tell me.
